Probes available for the Siglent SDM3055?

[bsg]

Greetings everyone.


I am about to buy this bench DMM, I'm pretty satisfied with its reviews; however, one of the main features I've been looking for was 4-wire measurement. As far as I can tell, the meter doesn't come supplied with kelvin probes, and I cannot find any on Siglent's websites either.

From other brands, I commonly find BNC-terminated probes (useless for the 3055, unless I chop and re-terminate them), or something like these GW Insteks https://eleshop.eu/gw-instek-gtl-108a-kelvin-test-leads.html. Maybe buy a pair of these: https://www.tme.eu/pt/en/details/kml7488-100/single-test-leads/schutzinger/kml-7488-pz-0-75-100/?

Any suggestions? Did I read the 3055's 4-wire measurement capabilities incorrectly -- or they're mis-branded, though the meter has the button and markings for them -- or what gives?

Thanks

It's a solid meter. I've never seen a bench DMM that comes with 4 wire kelvin probes. You can certainly buy kelvin probes for it though. You could get something like the Hioki L2101 or L2107.

Hello,

if you do not need to measure small resistances very often, I would not buy Kelvin probes, but two cables (red and black) with crocodile clips.
You can then use these to supply the current and tap the falling voltage with the probes supplied.

But I wonder about the following. How does an analog 20 MHz oscilloscope and a 1 MHz generator fit together with a 5 1/2 digit multimeter?

Any kelvin clamp sets with 4 banana plugs will likely work fine.  The GW Instek ones will be good but these probably will be too:'

Those ^^^^ look good!!

If you have a Yaorea or Fnirsi Battery Internal Resistance Tester or Milli-ohm Meter, the Kelvin Clips supplied can be used with a DMM with the adapters shown here:

The Kelvin Clips that came with the HRM-10 are nice, better than the Clips we have from AliX.

"Bench stuff."

In all seriousness, I *am* building my bench, and those 2 are starter units, as it were; since my DMM right now is a very feeble handheld one, I'm skipping a step and getting something more capable. Eventually I'll get a proper scope (which shall sit next to the old one, they'll be friends) with built-in a logic analyser and a function generator. Like I said in the other post, I like "knobby" gear.
